<p><i> “Some people think a martial artist has to be tough against everybody - that’s not true at all. A martial artist has to be strong against bad people. But we must also be able to know and understand the feelings, moods and mentalities of good and bad individuals before we can comprehend when to be strong and when to be gentle.”</i><br />
I don't know if I like the way I look in this one, haha. Like, my face... I don't think it's one of my better photos. Well anyway...<br />
So one of my best friends... is moving. And I hate to see him go. I'm loosing one of my good friends. I don't know what to do. Well, the only thing I <u>can</u> do is to just talk to him while I still can. <br />
So, I messed up my hand... I didn't break it, but it's cut up and scratched and really sore. It looks like I got into a fight with a cat, but trust me, I didn't. It hurts. I have a couple scratches on the inside of my hand too, but most are on the outside. What will my karate instructor say?? =/<br />
OH! &quot;Eric&quot; emailed me today :D I was in a science class today, taking a test when my phone vibrated and said, &quot;You have a new email from: &quot;Eric&quot;!&quot; I looked at it and started grinning like a mad-woman. I was so happy. Of course, he's not the best at punctuation, but it's because he was in a rush, I could tell from how discombobulated it was. <br />
But nevertheless, I'm happy. OH! And that girl that is giving attitude to Shihan and myself, maybe won't promote =p She doesn't have her black belt paper done and handed in, or her passport photos for her certificate. They're due the 24th. Yeah, she's not promoting, and if she is, it's going to be a half-ass job.<br />
Other than that stuff... I'm just sore and stuff all over. Like shoulders, knees, back and arms. Weapons killed Tuesday. It was three times everything. I'm not even kidding. The bo is pretty heavy. God, I'm tired. I still have math homework to do, and no History tomorrow =(<br />

<i>&quot;They’re saying,<br />
Crush it,<br />

Laugh as it falls away.<br />
I won’t dodge another silver bullet,<br />
Just to save a little face.<br />
<br />
I want you to know,<br />
I want you to see,<br />
I want you to look beyond your own eyes,<br />
Past your afflictions.<br />

How many people really care?<br />
(Really care?)<br />
How many will be standing?<br />
(One or two?)<br />
I’ll light the match,<br />
The flame,<br />
The fuse,<br />
The bomb,<br />
Rescue the world from slavery.<br />
<br />
I wanna torch it,<br />
Burn it,<br />
Scorch it,<br />
F*ckin’ stomp it out.<br />
Laugh as it blows away.<br />
